Today was a great day for Team January! We spent the morning in Canaan finishing up the landscaping around the medical center, adding some stone around the church, more painting, starting some trim, and home visits.
Ahhhh, the home visits. What a blessing that God allows us to take part in sharing life with some of the women of Canaan. We spent time talking, encouraging, and praying. Oh and for a few........holding babies.
We spent some time praying for a 2 1/2 week old baby and the family, Suzette's 4 month old grandaughter was also part of our day.
We had the privilege of praying with a father while his wife had their 2 year old at the hospital. They have been running tests and treating him for severe skin infections for the past two days. She brought their little boy to Jeff asking if we were having clinic at all this week. After taking a quick look, Jeff determined they couldn't wait a few more days and gave her money to get to the hospital immediately. He is doing a little better but they still are unsure what is going on.
These home visits are eye opening obviously because of the physical circumstances, but more so, of all six families we visited, none of them asked for prayer for any thing materialistic. They all asked for prayer for their spiritual life.
This afternoon, we went to visit the girls at Good Sam! Everyone had a great time with the kids playing and talking.
We are looking forward to an awesome day as we go to Canaan to run a medical clinic and do some finish work on the medical center!
Apologies for not being able to post any pictures tonight. The internet is not operating well enough for us to post them.
